Considering big tech and coporate reliance on temporary foreign workers, will Trump really carry out the ban of OPT and H1-B?
Also studies show that banning OPT will actually cause economic damage in the long run. Though Trump probably doesn’t care because he is just using the economic downfall as an excuse to exercise xenophobia. And he never cares about science and research, as we can see by the way he has dealt with the virus.

People are just people guys, and you can expect all kind of negative behaviors given you look at enough numbers. Doesn’t matter what community or race they belong to.
He will parade it as "No more foreigners" to appease his base. This way, tech economy also will not take a major incremental hit and he will also score brownie points within his own base. I am no fan of that guy, but he is a smarter politician than most guys give him credit for.
Farmers have a really tough time finding labor when the supply of migrants is affected. Americans don’t last long and quit easily. Supply and demand determines the right level of immigration if the communist trump would let it
While this is true, Presidents also have an obligation to make sure the economies they are trying to save dont go in free fall. I don't see that obligation being given much thought in this Presidency, to put it very lightly.
You must understand that for the Trump administration immigration is the piñata they hit when they are in trouble. The 2 month greencard ban was passed right after internal Republican polling came out showing Trump lagging behind Biden by double digits. It was an attempt to engage in some good old fashioned xenophobia/racism to get his polling up (it is still down).
So will he try banning OPT and H1B? Yes, as his polling is only going to continue to drop due to his mismanagement of the epidemic he is going to get bolder with his far right agenda to gin up some support.
The silver lining? He will try but fail, the Republicans are in the pocket of business leaders who will never let such a thing pass thru a republican administration because it hurts them.
